Thousands of years ago man looked at the stars and wondered about the heavens. But man was limited by what he could see with his eyes alone.The Greeks studied astronomy over 2,000 years ago. They could see the size, color, and brightness of stars. They could see their places in the sky. They watched the stars move as the seasons changed. But the Greeks had no tools to help them study the starry heavens.Each new tool added to the files of astronomy; it helped man reach out into space. Until there were telescopes, man knew little about the moon. They did not know that the planet called Saturn (土星) has rings around it. Their sight was so limited that they could not see all the planets. In the early 1700s, people thought there were only six planets.Before the spectroscope (分光镜), man did not know what kind of gases is in the sun or other stars. Without the radio telescope (电望远镜), we did not know that radio noises come from far out in space.Today, astronomy is a growing science. We have learned more in the last fifty years than in the whole history of astronomy.9The passage mainly tells us _.A. the spectroscope helps man know what kind of gases is in the sun and other starsB. there are nine planets in spaceC. there is much noise in spaceD. science cant grow fast without modern technology10Thousands of years ago, _.A. man watched the stars with their eyesB. telescopes helped man to study the starsC. man knew nothing about the skyD. man knew Saturn had rings around it11.
